Scientific-practical Conference. Innovations in Nursing Science: 2025. Conference Abstracts
The scientific and practical conference "Nursing Science Innovations: 2025" brought together Lithuanian and foreign general nurses, advanced practice nurses, students of all levels of nursing study programmes, nursing researchers, and scientists to present the latest achievements in nursing science, share research results, and discuss current topics of nursing science and practice. The abstracts of the conference presentations published in this journal supplement reflect three main thematic areas: nursing research, presenting research in English by Lithuanian and foreign researchers; clinical nursing research, focusing on the evaluation of practical interventions, improving the quality of patient care, and evidence-based practice; and nursing education, focusing on the use of innovative teaching methods and the development of nurses' professional competencies. We thank the conference organisers for their ideas, efforts, and work and the conference scientific committee for their peer review and evaluation of the abstracts. We hope this publication will stimulate scientific discussion, contribute to the dissemination of nursing science, and inspire conference participants to further research relevant to academia and nursing practice.

A total of 242 publications in English were found in the database. Articles were selected based on three criteria: the title, the abstract, and the full text. Six scientific articles published between 2019 and 2024 were selected and thoroughly analyzed. Descriptive analysis was conducted. <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">Results.<span lang="en-US" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1"> The results of the publications were analyzed according to the type of application of comprehensive nursing methodologies. Comprehensive rehabilitation nursing encompasses a holistic approach, integrating medication management, nutrition, physical activity, and psychological support. Studies show that patients receiving comprehensive nursing care experience shorter recovery times, reduced complications, and improved satisfaction compared to those receiving standard nursing care. <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">Summary.<span lang="en-US" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1"> Comprehensive rehabilitation nursing, implemented through complex and humanized nursing methodologies, is effective for patients post-laparoscopic myomectomy as it reduces the physical and psychological stress which patients undergo, increases the patient satisfaction, shortens hospitalization duration, decreases the incidence of related complications, and improves the patients’ quality of life, thereby accelerating recovery after surgery. Therefore, this strategy is worth applying in clinical practice. The results of this literature review provide valuable perspectives for future research in the field of nursing for patients after laparoscopic surgery.

Despite global evidence, research on allergenic fungal spores in Lithuania remains limited. This study aims to explore the influence of urbanization, socioeconomic inequality, and climate change on allergenic fungal spore exposure and allergy risk in Lithuania, identifying knowledge gaps and proposing preventive strategies. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted, integrating case studies, observational and experimental research, clinical reports, and comparative international data. The results highlight that allergenic fungal spores, particularly <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">Alternaria<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;" data-mce-fragment="1"> and <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">Cladosporium<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;" data-mce-fragment="1">, substantially impact respiratory health. Climate change is projected to extend spore seasons and intensify allergen exposure. Urban settings are associated with increased indoor fungal exposure, especially affecting low-income populations. Socioeconomic factors exacerbate health disparities due to inadequate housing conditions and limited access to healthcare. In conclusion, climate change, urbanization, and socioeconomic disparities collectively amplify the risks posed by allergenic fungal spores in Lithuania. Targeted interventions and comprehensive public health policies are necessary to mitigate the rising allergy burden.

Knowledge of Novice Drivers about Providing First Aid to Victims of a Traffic Accident
<p class="ISSN-abst-vidus" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Loss of health due to road injuries is a major global problem. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), around 1.19 million people are killed, and tens of millions suffer injuries each year in road accidents, many of which are severe and lead to permanent disability. Lithuania is no exception as our country continues to have high statistics on road accidents, which is one of the main external causes of death and serious injuries. According to the legal documents of the Republic of Lithuania, drivers involved in a traffic accident, including novice drivers, are obliged to provide first aid. Proper first aid can be a determining factor as it can save the victim’s life. It is therefore extremely important that road users learn first aid and then improve their knowledge so that they can use it effectively to help victims in the event of an accident. <p class="ISSN-abst-vidus" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Study object. The aim of the study was to assess novice drivers’ knowledge of first aid for road accident victims. A quantitative study was carried out between November 2024 and February 2025 by using the questionnaire survey method. The questionnaire was placed on the Google Forms platform and, with the permission of the administrators, distributed on the Facebook groups: ‘Regitra Examinations. All about licences, driving forum, Ket rules’, ‘Regitra Examinations’. The sample consisted of 92 novice drivers with no more than two years of driving experience and no professional medical training. The age of the subjects ranged from 22 to 54 years old, with the majority of the drivers participating in the study being under 24 years old. <p class="ISSN-abst-vidus" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Survey results. The results of the survey showed that the distribution of first aid knowledge among learner drivers varies. The average correct knowledge related to initial resuscitation scored 57.9%, knowledge related to injuries yielded 53.6% correct answers, and knowledge related to the required first aid actions was measured as 71.2%. More than half of the respondents were found to possess knowledge of the correct technique for performing resuscitation, while only less than one-fifth lacked knowledge of the principles of first aid in the face of danger. Although the majority of novice drivers have a good knowledge of how to provide correct first aid for fractures, knowledge of first aid for spinal injuries was found to be insufficient. The results of the study suggest that novice drivers’ knowledge of initial resuscitation and first aid for people with various injuries is generally perceived as poor.

General Self-Efficacy of Nurses in Clinical Activity
<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;" data-mce-fragment="1">A high level of nurses’ general self-efficacy is a crucial factor in ensuring the quality and safety of healthcare. Nurses’ self-efficacy abilities help effectively manage stress and anxiety, reduce the risk of burnout, and improve their professional efficiency. Nurses often face heavy workloads, challenges, technological changes, and experience emotional strain, making their self-efficacy levels dependent on the work environment. High self-efficacy is associated with greater job satisfaction and better mental health. Although self-efficacy is linked to psychological well-being and professional effectiveness, the factors influencing nurses’ self-efficacy have not yet been sufficiently explored. <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">The aim<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;" data-mce-fragment="1"> of this study is to review and present the latest literature data on nurses’ general self-efficacy in clinical practice.

The analysis of the literature showed that nurses’ self-efficacy directly correlates with lower levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout. Half of the selected publications revealed that nurses’ self-efficacy is above the average level. The researched studies demonstrated that personality traits, work environment, and organizational support significantly influence self-efficacy, which is associated with greater job satisfaction, self-esteem, and professional resilience. A decline in self-efficacy can significantly deteriorate nurses’ psychological well-being.

Application of Pharmacology Knowledge of General Practice Nursing Students during Clinical Nursing Practices
Medication errors cause thousands of deaths worldwide every year. Students graduating from the general practice nursing programs will be responsible for the medication administration process, which influences the quality of treatment and care process and the patients’ health. It is of importance for the academic community training nurses to constantly monitor and evaluate the general and clinical pharmacology knowledge of future nurses, strive to present the knowledge as clearly as possible during lectures, practical sessions, and clinical nursing practices, and analyze the most commonly occurring errors, along with their causes, in order to implement the latest teaching methods, and run programs to help avoid any errors. The aim of the study is to determine the application of pharmacology knowledge by general practice nursing students during clinical nursing practices. Research methods: A quantitative study was conducted using the questionnaire survey method developed by the author to collect subject-related data. 120 students of the nursing program were surveyed. Results. The knowledge of second to fourth-year students in the general practice nursing program about nursing actions in the medication administration process is deemed to be sufficient. It has been found that students are well-versed in all stages of the medication administration process. The results of the study suggest that the knowledge and practical skills of the future general practice nurses will allow for quality, professional, and safe nursing care in the future, thereby ensuring better treatment and care process outcomes.

Experiences of Nursing Students Working with Nurses during Clinical Practice
The aim of the study: to establish nursing students’ experiences of working as a team with nurses during clinical practice. Methods. The qualitative research was carried out between December 2023 and February 2024. 9 female students of the 4th year nursing programme at LSMU were interviewed. Approval for the study was obtained from the LSMU Bioethics Center (No. 2023-BEC2-396, 14 November 2023). Research results. Professional nurses were the key individuals who taught how to perform procedures, communicate with patients, encouraged professional improvement, and provided emotional support in difficult and stressful situations. The participants were pleased when the involved nurses were paying due attention to the process of training and showed the trainees from their own experience how to carry out procedures more effectively. The students positively commented on the nurses’ ability to teach students. According to the research participants, if the students themselves show initiative, nurses willingly involve them in critical situations. By motivating students, nurses can create a stronger bond with them, and, most importantly, encourage them to never give up, and to have more confidence in their own abilities. The experiences of nursing students depended on the course in which they were carrying out their clinical practice. Conclusions. Experiences in the clinical practice influence nursing students’ perceptions of the nursing profession and teamwork. Nursing students stated that they mostly worked in teams with nurses, learning by observing their actions and later trying out their own abilities in various nursing procedures.

Effects of Different Physiotherapy Programs on the Respiratory Function of Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The article analyzes the effects of virtual reality sessions and breathing exercises performed in a physical therapy room on the respiratory function of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The disease is often defined as progressive and causing structural and functional changes in the respiratory system, which causes shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, drowsiness, and fatigue, which negatively affects the quality of life. Physiotherapy has been found to be an effective treatment method which improves the lung function, increases the functional capacity, as well as the respiratory muscle strength, and reduces the shortness of breath. In the scientific literature, the application of virtual reality is mainly discussed in cases of neurological diseases, but there are few studies that analyze the application of this method in cases of respiratory system diseases. The study sample: purposive sampling: 10 study participants with mild to moderate disease. The following methods were used in the research: analysis of scientific information sources, testing, descriptive and comparative data analysis. After summarizing the results of the study, it was found that both applied physiotherapy programs are more effective, but greater changes in the respiratory system were recorded in the group of study participants who completed virtual reality classes.

The Assessment of Teamwork and Personal Leadership in Nursing
Komandinis darbas ir asmeninė lyderystė yra kertiniai veiksniai, padedantys užtikrinti tinkamą darbinę aplinką, kokybiškas paslaugas ir darbo efektyvumą. Tyrimo tikslas: išanalizuoti komandinio darbo ir asmeninės lyderystės raišką ir tarpusavio sąsajas slaugytojo darbe. Tyrimo metodika. 2024 m. vienoje iš Klaipėdos sveikatos priežiūros įstaigų atliktas kiekybinis tyrimas, kuriame dalyvavo 189 komandinį darbą dirbantys slaugytojai. Taikyti TeamSTEPPS ir Leadership practices inventory klausimynai, statistinei analizei taikytas SPSS for Windows 21.0. Tyrimo rezultatai. Dauguma slaugytojų, nepriklausomai nuo darbo stažo, komandinį darbą vertina gerai, penktadalis – vidutiniškai. Slaugytojai aukščiausiai vertina situacijos stebėjimą, komandos struktūrą ir bendravimą, žemiausiai – abipusės paramos nuostatą. Situacijos stebėjimo ir komandos struktūros veiksniai buvo patikimai geriau vertinami slaugytojų su mažesniu darbo stažu. Dauguma slaugytojų, nepriklausomai nuo darbo patirties, teigiamai vertinoa lyderystę, pusei užtenka lyderio savybių, trečdalis slaugytojų savo darbe taiko transformacinį lyderystės stilių, o daugiau nei trečdalis nelaiko savęs lyderiais. Svarbiausiais lyderio bruožais slaugytojai įvardijo atsakingumą, profesionalumą ir komunikabilumą. Labiausiai išreikšti asmeninės lyderystės veiksniai tarp slaugytojų buvo kitų drąsinimas ir pavyzdžio rodymas, mažiausiai išreikštas – įtikinimas vizija. Nustatyta, kad, didėjant respondentų darbo stažui, reikšmingai mažėja jų iššūkio procesui lyderystės veiksnys. Tyrimo metu nustatytos tiesioginės sąsajos tarp daugumos slaugytojų asmeninių komandinio darbo nuostatų ir jų lyderystės raiškos. Pavyzdžio rodymas, įtikinimas vizija ir kitų įgalinimas patikimai gerino visus komandinių nuostatų veiksnius. Išvados. Svarbiausios komandinės nuostatos yra situacijos stebėjimas, komandos struktūra ir bendravimas, o labiausiai išreikšti asmeninės lyderystės veiksniai – kitų drąsinimas ir pavyzdžio rodymas. Nustatyti patikimi tiesioginiai ryšiai tarp daugumos komandinių ir lyderystės veiksnių rodo, kad, stiprinant asmeninę lyderystę, galima daryti teigiamą įtaką komandiniam darbui, kuris pagerintų darbo rezultatus, o stiprinant komandos struktūrą, situacijos stebėjimą ir bendravimą gali būti ugdomi visi lyderystės bruožai.

Relationships between Illness Perception and Needs Assessment in Patients with Oncohematological Diseases
Patients with oncohematological diseases often have problems with their physical and psychological health. Assessment of illness perception and needs is important in nursing because they are interconnected and determine the effectiveness of treatment, patient well-being and satisfaction. Nurses and other professionals have an important role to play in helping patients understand their illness and related issues, and helping them meet their needs. In order to achieve a patient’s comprehensive health, it is of importance that nurses would meet not only their most necessary physiological needs, but also their psychosocial needs. The purpose of the study is to investigate the perception of the illness and the needs of patients with oncohematological diseases. A quantitative study was carried out. The instrument used is a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic questions created by the authors of the study, the Short Illness Perception Scale (BIPQ), and the Needs Evaluation Questionnaire (NEQ). The study was conducted in June–September 2024. The sample consisted of 266 respondents. Descriptive data analysis was performed by using the SPSS program. The results of the study showed that patients are very concerned about their disease and feel that the disease affects their lives strongly, they believe that treatment can help them, the disease will not last a long time, they feel that they cannot control their disease, but they appreciate that they understand their disease well. The patients who participated in the study expressed their most urgent needs as those related to relationships, the communication process, and to obtaining information about future forecasts. When evaluating the correlations between the perception of the disease and the needs, it was found that, as the perception of the threat of the disease increases, the sum of the number of individual types of needs increases.

Moisturising cosmetic products, often used both in daily skincare and in the treatment of skin diseases, have the function of improving the skin’s moisture level, especially when the skin becomes dry and is damaged by exogenous and endogenous factors [1]. The stratum corneum barrier in the epidermis of the skin is responsible for water retention in the skin. If the stratum corneum is damaged, the skin’s moisture is lost and the skin becomes dehydrated [2]. <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">Objective.<strong class="bold" lang="en-US" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1"> <span lang="en-US" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">To analyze the maintenance of moisture in dehydrated skin utilizing hyaluronic acid. <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">Methods. <span lang="en-US" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">A review of scientific articles using the keywords: dehydrated skin, skin problems, moisture retention, lipid function, hyaluronic acid, and combinations of hyaluronic acid with the words ‘and’, ‘or’ has been performed.

By the beginning of 2060, it is expected that almost 37% of the Lithuanian population will be aged 60 and over, compared to 35% in the EU (the average of 27 countries). The changing socio-economic situation, constant stress at work and in personal life, increasing retirement age and growing global tension are affecting people’s well-being. Physical activity (in combination with other healthy lifestyle factors) can provide the elderly people with a real opportunity to prolong their years of active and independent life and decrease functional limitation as well as social isolation. Given that physical activity is undoubtedly recognised as an important indicator of the quality of life for the elderly, it shall be noted that its practical implementation remains the weakest aspect in Lithuania. <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">The aim of the research <span lang="en-US" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">was to evaluate the well-being and daily activities of the elderly patients in Institution X.

The research was carried out from June to October 2023 with the participation of 90 respondents; the respondents were being cared for in Institution X. As many as 88 questionnaires were found appropriate for the research analysis. The research revealed that the majority of the respondents were completely dissatisfied with their current state (condition), never felt in a good mood, very often felt that they were living an empty life, and very often felt helpless. Only a minority of the respondents, who participated in the research, very often felt happy. The assessment of respondents’ opinions on their daily routines showed that more than a half of the respondents were completely dissatisfied with their daily activities. Additionally, half of the respondents reported that daily activities often were very tiring and difficult, very often caused a lot of tension. Furthermore, there was no respondent for whom daily activities did not cause any stress.

All patients are unique individuals, but due to their condition, they share similar needs that must be identified and met. The experience of nursing patients with dementia is challenging and difficult, particularly due to acute conditions and pain management. <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">The aim of the study<span lang="en-US" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1"> is to reveal the experiences of nurses in caring for patients with dementia during acute conditions and pain management. <em class="italik" lang="en-CA" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1">The research problem<span lang="en-US" style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" data-mce-fragment="1"> encompasses the following main questions: what difficulties and challenges do nurses face when caring for patients with dementia; what is the nursing experience in caring for patients with dementia during acute conditions and in pain management? A qualitative study was conducted in the palliative care and nursing department of Hospital X, using the interview method. Nurses caring for patients with dementia encounter various difficulties: managing pain and acute conditions, sudden changes in patients’ health status, comprehensive patient care, and a lack of patience. The main challenges are the complex nursing process, acute conditions, patient behavior problems, pain management, communication with patients’ relatives, providing psychological support to patients, personal factors (lack of patience and time), and organizational factors (staff shortages, heavy workloads). Acute conditions are managed by assessing the situation and monitoring patients according to doctors’ orders. Recognizing and medicating pain as needed is crucial for pain management. Various problems arise in caring for patients with dementia, the most common of which occur in communicating with the patient’s relatives, due to heavy workloads, and a lack of information in providing person-centered care. These problems are most often resolved through communication with colleagues and independent learning to search for necessary or missing information.

In recent decades, new therapeutic options have evolved in response to the increasing prevalence of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Surgical treatment typically involves standard transurethral resection of the prostate as well as newer techniques such as enucleation of the prostate using a Holmium laser. Swift recognition of nursing issues post-surgery and their resolution aids in minimizing the likelihood of complications and enhancing patients’ mental well-being and overall quality of life. This article examines the nursing issues that occur following endoscopic transurethral resection of the prostate and Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate. The study inlolved 8 nurses from the urology department. Nursing issues following endoscopic transurethral prostate resection and prostate enucleation with Holmium laser were found and compared by data analysis utilizing a semi-structured interview approach. The study revealed that urinary incontinence, headaches, and the danger of infections are common nursing issues following these specific endoscopic procedures. Following transurethral resection of the prostate, there is a risk of hyponatremia due to potential TURP syndrome development, increased likelihood of urinary retention and clot formation in the drainage, and heightened postoperative wound pain. Conversely, after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate, there is an elevated risk of bleeding and a possibility of retrograde ejaculation.

Diabetic foot complications can be largely prevented by educating patients and proper foot care. Adequate patient knowledge of risk factors, early signs of complications and preventive measures, combined with positive health behaviours, can significantly reduce the incidence of foot ulcers and amputations. However, despite clear scientific evidence supporting the benefits of patient education, many individuals with diabetes lack the necessary knowledge and often fail to engage in preventive behaviours. This paper presents the results of a study comparing the knowledge and behaviour of Lithuanian and Dutch diabetes patients. The study used a quantitative questionnaire survey method with a purposive sample of 86 diabetic respondents. The sample consisted of 43 patients from each country. . The results of the study were summarised revealing that respondents from both countries expressed interest in learning more about several key areas including: foot care hygiene; appropriate footwear; injuries and their prevention; foot problems and the steps to be taken;, and when to seek medical assistance.
